When you get Catapult Slam, hold a flipper button down, then when it cycles to the projectile you want press the other flipper button to fire. This gives you a little more control, plus you’re not flailing on both buttons like an idiot.

I try to get the first 2 castles to set up an establishing score, then start heading for other goals, especially Castle Multiball. During multiball it’s frequently worth more points to go for the Castle instead of the jackpots.

So my glass-catapult-all-barnyard strategy on a location game also got me to my favorite video mode. Sadly the right flipper button (which worked perfectly in every other way) wouldn’t move my farmer to the right. Since I could only move left I ended up stuck in the left corner and babies were eaten.

I imagine this will be a very low priority repair for the operator is there somewhere I could point the Op. to make this a quick and easy fix? I want to save the babies!

Likely the upper right flipper switch. No upper flipper, so normally no need for that switch. See if you can change the skill shot with the right flipper. Does it have a credit dot?

The remake almost needs different strategies. The flopped flippers make hitting the castle considerably harder. Especially when over 6.5 pitch. Lots more unwanted troll hits. The ramps and orbits are smooth as silk. It would be really cruel to have both an original and a remake in a tourney lineup. If someone does try this, put a swear jar between the games and you’ll clean up.

Very true. I’ve now gotten used to playing MM and AFM remakes as different games with the same rules. Is it just me or does the MM remake have a different ball guide at the catapult? Flipper veriation aside I have a hell of a time hitting the catapult on remakes.
